44 BOOTS
Build your club all week in the browser - squad, transfers, training, the corner routines. Then on match day you take the touchline live, with eleven players who each think for themselves, and ninety minutes to out-manage whoever is standing in the opposite technical area.

When the draw pairs you with another manager, nobody simulates it. The fixture waits for the two of you, and you play it out together - live, both of you on your own touchline.
A real manager, not a turn
They have picked their side, drilled their corners and set their shape - all week, same as you. And when it turns against them they don't shrug and reset. Every manager who joins turns another fixture on your list from a simulation into a match.
Eleven minds, not eleven counters
Every player decides for himself: what he can see from where he is standing, what he is actually good at, whether his head is right today. Nobody is following a script. Your full-back will make a run you never asked for, and now and again he will be proved right.
You're on the touchline, not reading a report
Ninety minutes, and you are in the technical area for all of them. Push them up. Drop them deep. Calm them down or get after it. Change the shape, throw a striker on, chase the game. You cannot kick a ball - but everything a real manager can do from that white line, you can do.
A management game first
You run the club in your browser. You take the touchline in the game.
MANAGE - in your browser
Squad, transfers, your scout's desk, corner routines, the training week, the books. Long tables and long reports, on a screen big enough for them.
PLAY - in the game
Saturday, live in 3D. Shout from the touchline, make your subs, watch the plan work or fall apart.
Same club, both places. Redesign a corner at lunchtime and it is what your side does that night.
Free. Forever.
You will never be charged a penny. 44 Boots pays its own way through sponsorship and light-touch pitch-side advertising - never through your wallet.
In fact it's impossible to spend money here. No coins, no boosts, no shortcuts. A warehouse worker gets exactly the same tools as a stockbroker - nobody can buy an advantage.
Same money. Every club. Forever.
The champions and the bottom club bank identical income, week after week. No oil money, no parachute payments, no bought titles. If you climb the pyramid, it's because you out-managed everyone in it.
A whole club, not just an XI
Run the mens side, a professional womens squad, the U16 academy and the Sunday XI. Promote the kids when they're ready. Find the pub-league gem nobody else saw.
Players are people
Wages, self-worth, morale, injuries. Pay a man less than he thinks he's owed and he'll let you know about it - week after week. Give him a raise and he'll never forget the number.
Take the touchline
Watch your matches live in 3D. Shout tactics, make substitutions, sweat the yellow cards and the penalties - your decisions land in real time, right there on the grass.
The long climb
You come in at the bottom and climb. The top two divisions of every country cannot be bought into at any price - the only way in is to win your way up, and the pyramid grows deeper beneath you as more managers arrive.
Your scout, your academy
A scout with a real eye - and real blind spots - brings you local finds, men and women. A good youth coach turns sixteen-year-olds into first-teamers while you watch.
Your club, everywhere
Phone or PC, it's the same club living in the cloud. Set the team at lunchtime, watch the match at night. The world keeps turning either way.
The world is already turning
